Volunteers welcome! Please subscribe to the wvdial mailing list by sending a message to wvdial-list-request@worldvisions.ca with the subject "subscribe". WvDial ------ - 1ms-lag-mode for wvmodem - adjust the number of seconds before "hoping for the best" - sometimes the login prompt takes a long time to answer. - mention /etc/wvdial.conf, /dev/ttyS*, and pap-secrets file permissions - allow passing of options on the command line: if it has an '=' sign, assume it's a configuration setting. - DONE version 1.5 (01/2002) - find pppd in PATH, don't assume /usr/sbin/pppd - blank lines count as prompts (sometimes?) - create a pidfile in /var/run/wvdial.pid - split the debian postinst script out, so that non-debian users get the convenient setup prompts - go to background automatically when starting pppd (watch out with the lockfile!) - create config file 0600!! - if pppd dies "too quickly", suggest to the user that /var/log/ppp.log, daemon.log, etc may contain the answers to the problem. - '@' is a prompt string :) (MSN) - try simply "AT" (3 retries) after finding max baud rate, rather than going directly to retry the full init string. WvDial - docs ------ - how to disable call waiting (insert *70, in the phone number) - split wvdial.1 man page into wvdial.1 and wvdial.conf.5
